By default, AuthMinder stores the user-related data in plain format in the database tables that you seed during installation. To encrypt this data, you use the Attribute Encryption Set Configuration page and select the user attributes that you want to encrypt. See "Multi-Byte Characters and Encrypted Parameters" for the list of attributes that can be stored in an encrypted format.
To store the user attributes in the encrypted format:
Under the System Configuration section on the side-bar menu, click the Attribute Encryption Configuration link to display the page.
Note: If you choose to encrypt the User Identifier attribute, all the following attributes that help in uniquely identifying the user are also encrypted:
Click the > button to move selected attributes to the desired list. You can also click the >> button to move all attributes to the desired lists.
Note: Hold the Ctrl key to select more than one attribute at a time.
The Attributes Selected for encryption list displays all the attributes that will be stored in an encrypted format.
